Mine wasn't a Pro to begin with, but I converted it to a Pro, then put a brushless (E-flite 370 inrunner, 3700 kv) motor on it, with a 3S LiPo. Some MS Composit carbon blades make it fun also... and get rid of the stock transmitter. If you fly Futaba all you need to do is change crystals and use your own transmitter.

Those things make me nevous, in fact I named mine Nervous Nellie the Micro Heli. Best upgrade is a Hurricane 550. You can relax and fly a 550.

my honest opinion... just fly it...save the money you would use for an upgrade and put it towards a Trex or something like that

The new Blade 400 looks really good. I saw one at the LHS last weekend. The demo flight looked really good. It's much cheaper than the Trex, and seems to be a quality heli.


JMHO,
Chris

Default Re: Best upgrade for a Blade cp pro

Thats what I was going to suggest as an upgrade, a new blade 400 I started on the cx, moved to the cp, and then the cp pro. While they fly ok they are not very stable and the tail rotor motor has a very short life span. Crashed mine way to many times because the bushing came out of the motor. Hey 50 lemme know how the 400 flies im looking at getting one.

best up grade is gyro then the motor will last and bushing will stay in as for the 400 it flys beter than the cp,s but still not as good as a t-rex
